United Association Local 200 represents the skilled plumbers and pipefitters serving the Long Island market, specifically covering Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Established to uphold rigorous standards in the piping trades, this local provides the specialized labor force necessary for the region's diverse infrastructure, from residential high-rises to massive commercial developments. As a key player in the New York building trades, Local 200 ensures that its members are trained to handle complex fluid systems, medical gas installations, and high-pressure steam lines. The local operates a dedicated training facility that serves as the hub for apprenticeship and journeyman continuing education, maintaining a high barrier to entry that translates into superior job site safety and system longevity.
The Nassau-Suffolk market presents unique challenges for mechanical contractors, including high density, stringent environmental regulations, and a complex landscape of municipal codes. UA Local 200 acts as the primary labor partner for over 60 signatory contractors who manage these complexities. This workforce is essential for the ongoing maintenance and expansion of Long Island's healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public utility projects. By providing a stable pipeline of certified tradespeople, the local enables large-scale mechanical primes to execute multi-million dollar contracts with predictable labor costs and quality. For the individual mechanic, membership offers a clear career path with structured benefits and representation that is synonymous with the high standards of the United Association.
UA Local 200 does not publicly broadcast its current prevailing wage rates or total package figures to the general public. To obtain the exact taxable hourly rate and fringe benefit breakdown, interested parties should contact the Local 200 business office directly or consult the latest New York State Department of Labor prevailing wage schedule for Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Generally, the United Association follows a five-year apprenticeship model where pay starts at a fixed percentage of the journeyman rate—often around 40% to 50%—and increases annually as the apprentice completes required classroom hours and on-the-job training milestones. Upon reaching journeyman status, members receive the full negotiated scale, which is benchmarked against the high cost of living inherent to the Long Island and greater New York metropolitan region.
The chartered jurisdiction for UA Local 200 encompasses the entirety of Nassau County and Suffolk County on Long Island, New York. This territory includes all townships from the Queens-Nassau border to Montauk Point. The jurisdiction covers a vast array of work environments, including residential plumbing systems, commercial HVAC piping, industrial process piping, and municipal water treatment facilities. Members are dispatched from the Ronkonkoma headquarters to job sites throughout the two counties. Work performed under the Local 200 collective bargaining agreement includes the installation, maintenance, and repair of all piping systems, ensuring that signatory contractors have exclusive access to this territory's most qualified plumbing and pipefitting professionals for both private and public works projects.
The signatory landscape for Local 200 consists of approximately 60 mechanical and plumbing firms ranging from boutique service providers to large-scale mechanical primes. These contractors specialize in diverse sectors including institutional construction for Long Island's university systems, large-scale healthcare renovations, and municipal infrastructure. The hiring environment is characterized by a demand for mechanics who hold specific certifications such as backflow prevention, medical gas, and advanced welding. Gulfstream Strategic Placements tracks these signatory partners to help skilled tradespeople navigate the regional market. Because the local maintains a strong market share in the Nassau-Suffolk region, signatory contractors often lead the largest public-sector projects where prevailing wage compliance and high-tier safety records are mandatory.
No, UA Local 200 specifically covers Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. New York City's five boroughs are covered by other UA locals, such as Local 1 for plumbers and Local 638 for steamfitters. While members may occasionally work across borders through travel cards, their primary jurisdiction ends at the Queens-Nassau line.
In the Nassau-Suffolk market, certifications for Medical Gas (ASSE 6010), Backflow Prevention, and various AWS welding certifications are highly prized. Additionally, New York State specific safety certifications and OSHA 30-hour training are standard requirements for most major job sites within the local's territory to ensure compliance with regional safety mandates.
The Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) typically opens recruitment based on labor market demand. These windows are not open year-round and are often announced via the New York State Department of Labor.

Yes, UA Local 200 frequently looks for experienced 'white paper' travelers or non-union mechanics through their organizing department.

The $42.84/hour figure is the base journeyman wage that lands on the paycheck. The $72.92/hour total package adds employer-paid fringes — health and welfare, pension, annuity, apprenticeship training, and industry funds. Contractors bid work off the total package, so that is the number that matters when comparing plumbers & pipefitters labor costs across locals.
Apprentices under the UA Local 200 agreement are paid a graduated percentage of the journeyman rate, typically starting near 40–50% in the first period and stepping up each six-month or annual period until reaching 100% at turnout. Against the current $42.84/hour journeyman rate, a first-period apprentice would be in the $19.28–$21.42/hour range. The exact percentage schedule is set by the local's JATC.
UA Local 200 is headquartered in Dallas, TX and dispatches plumbers & pipefitters manpower throughout its chartered jurisdiction. Work performed inside that territory falls under the local's collective bargaining agreement and wage schedule, even when the contractor is based elsewhere and travels in.
Most locals require applicants to be at least 18, legally able to work in the U.S., hold a high school diploma or GED, pass a basic math/aptitude assessment and a drug screen, and be physically able to perform plumbers & pipefitters work. Some Local 200 programs give preference to applicants inside the jurisdiction or to veterans. Eligibility rules are set by the local's Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC), so confirm the current criteria with the hall before applying.
Apprenticeship applications go through the UA Local 200 JATC, not through a contractor or a recruiter. Applications typically open in defined intake windows each year: you submit the application with proof of age, education, and residency, sit for an aptitude test, and then interview. Ranked applicants are placed on an eligibility list and indentured as signatory contractors call for apprentices. Gulfstream Strategic Placements does not process apprenticeship applications — contact the Local 200 training center directly.
Plumbers & Pipefitters apprenticeships generally run four to five years — roughly 8,000–10,000 hours of on-the-job training plus several hundred classroom hours per year. Apprentices earn a paycheck the entire time, stepping up through the wage periods until they turn out as journeymen at 100% of scale.
Signatory contractors hire through the local's hiring hall, so working under the UA Local 200 agreement generally means being a member or being organized in through the local's process. Journeymen from other locals can travel in by signing the out-of-work book, subject to the local's referral rules and manpower needs. Non-union plumbers & pipefitters professionals are usually placed with open-shop contractors instead — we recruit for both.
Rates move with the collective bargaining agreement, typically on a fixed anniversary date each year of a three- to five-year contract, with negotiated increases split between the base wage and the fringe package. The figures on this page reflect the 5/1/26 schedule; check with the Local 200 business office for any increase that has taken effect since.
